A Rooftop Solar Training Academy has been set up in Gujarat to support PM Surya Ghar Yojana. The development is framed as part of a wider Renewable Energy Partnership that aims to link clean energy deployment with climate action, investment, technology transfer, and industry-to-industry collaboration.
The release is short, but its exam value lies in the implementation side of India’s rooftop solar push. It shows that expanding distributed solar capacity is not only a financing or subsidy issue; it also needs trained technicians, installation skills, quality assurance, and local capacity-building systems.
What happened
According to the release, the partnership has jointly established the Rooftop Solar Training Academy in Gujarat. The academy is intended to support the rollout of PM Surya Ghar Yojana by building skills and strengthening the ecosystem around rooftop solar deployment.
